Get a Library Card

To sign up for a card, visit any Branch or any other Saskatchewan public library and ask a staff member at the Circulation desk to assist you. You can also register for a temporary library card here.

Adults & Young Adults (ages 14+) must show two pieces of identification, one establishing their current address and a second piece that verifies identity.

Children (under 14 years of age) must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who must show two pieces of identification, one establishing his or her current address and a second piece that verifies identity. These documents will be used to register the child. The parent or legal guardian will need to sign the child’s Library card. The signer assumes responsibility for any Library charges incurred by the child.

Borrowers are responsible for all materials borrowed on their card and any charges, including fines and replacement costs, resulting from the late return, damage or loss of materials. Any fees owing must be paid prior to annual Library card renewal.

Get a Pin Number (Personal Identification Number)

Library staff will also register a four-digit PIN (Personal Identification Number) on your Library account. A PIN is required to access your Wapiti Regional Library account from any computer with internet access. By having a PIN, you can find out what materials you have checked out, what may be overdue and what materials you’ve requested by placing a hold. You are also able to renew items you currently have checked out!

Forgot your PIN? Visit any Branch or any other Saskatchewan public library and speak to a staff member at the Circulation/Check-Out desk. You’ll need to show them your Library card along with one other piece of ID so you can get your PIN.

Please remember: Your Library card is like a credit card and your contact information needs to be kept up-to-date. Let us know if your address or phone number changes by contacting any Branch library. Additionally, your Library card must be renewed annually. Renew your card with your local librarian.

• Adult DVDs and videos: $1.00/day; maximum charge $7.00

If you have charges of $10.00 or over, you will be unable to borrow until you reduce the charges to less than $10.00.

A replacement charge is automatically added to your record for items that are overdue for 30 days. The replacement charge represents the average cost for the Library to replace that sort of item. If you later return this item, the replacement charge is removed and replaced with the maximum late charge. If the item is lost, you will be responsible for paying the replacement charge. Replacement charges also apply to damaged items.
